'Well I met you in the lobby of a big hotel
You were smoothing your lip paint on
You said ‘don’t look at me like that stranger,
I ain’t here to serve no one’.
We picked up the baggage gathered around our feet
Booked a room with a terminal view
Since that day come whatever may
Nobody else even looked like breaking through'
("WINDS OF FORTUNE")
'I ain’t got no one to talk to any more
I ain’t got no one who’s gonna stand on my shore.
well my howling heart is just longing to be freed
I stay up late every night just to feel it bleed'
("WORLD OF PAIN")
'Well they gave us a wheel and we die every day
they cover up the carcasses and drag the wreck away
well the bombs fell down and the windows blew
there’s no skin on me
there’s no skin on you
tell me why won’t the sun come out
why won’t the sun come out'
("WHY WON'T THE SUN COME OUT?")
'Well ain’t you the lucky one
yeah the lucky one
white boy
born white …. in a white man’s world
Never had to doubt
you never had to go without
in a white man’s world
in a white man’s world
Ain't you the lucky one
yeah the lucky one
don’t you cry for me
if you don’t feel no pain'
("WHITE BOY")
'Stumble out of bed, mile wide head,
fumble down the Clayton's hall to the kitchen...
I pop another pill from the window sill,
it's all I can do to stop this itchin'....
I rinse out a glass, wipe it on my ass
just to put out the fire on my tongue...
my mouth is an ashtray, head is a rainy day
and all my friends are mad dogs and englishmen'
("WHEREVER YOU MAY LAY")
'I’ve been lost 1000 times
just to crawl my way back home
to count the cost of withered rhymes
makes me feel not so alone'
("WITHERED RHYMES")
'I seen a diamond sun
Shining in your eyes
Tell me why can’t this be love
You head is trying to tell your heart
some crazy alibi,
Tell me why can’t this be love?'
(WHY CAN'T THIS BE LOVE?")
